The Mammoth.

The reporter had the pleasure of meet ing NIT. k. ROwlands, of the Mammoth mines, yesterday evening at the Cosmo- politan hotel, and attempted to apply the reportorial pump for mining news. Mir Rowland, as superintendent of the entire operations now golng on at these mines, represents the expert, MT. Thomas Price who is making thorough examination of his property preparatory to making a full test as to it's real and prospective value for mining and milling.
 Mir Rowland expressed himself to be unwilling to enter into details of the work now being carried on at the Nam moth and in that vicinity, because he feared what he would say might be mis understood and enlarged upon to his personal embarrassment and prejudicial to the interests he represents. His eX- perence with reporters in the past had taught blm 10 talk to them guardedly. However, in general way he expressed himself as highly pleased with the work being done. and felt quite certain that the test would prove the Mamm oth to be good mine, and the owners would req lize their expectations concerning the property.
 MT Rowland employed several miner: in Tucson, who left for the mines yes terday, and he will employ several more before he returns provided he can find desirable men. In this connection, he informed us that good sober and indus trious miners can at most any time se- cure employment at good wages at the Mammoth or in the vicinity. Star.

Baron ReaViS.

A word or two as to our bete noir J. Addison. He is maintaining an obscure establishment in the city, and is making the strength of his fight before the in- terlor department, represented by Messrs. Freeman X Miney, attorneys He has evidently abandoned the idea (if he ever entertained it) of going to congress for recognition or confirmation He seeks by prosecuting an appeal from Surveyor General Hise's refusal to survey the fraud, to obtain an order regarding a preliminary survey, hoping therefore to get the same withdrawn from mark ct, pending investigation, which he would be Ill no hurry to have made. The pres ent officials in the land office are solid against his frauds and schemes, but sug- gest that the settlers get in a protest against segregation, exposing the fraudu- lent character of claim and claimants, so that the future commissioner aud secre- tary will have.the fraud question perman- enuy and closely before them. .--Thos

The Poor Apaches-

MAMMOTH, A. T., Dec. 12. 1887
 ED1roE ENTERrRIsE: Please give me space for short chapter on Uncle Sam s pets, the special department of Eskimln- gin and his interesting little band. Eastern papers please copy" That they have been, and are, wronged con stantly and deliberately, appears in everything. The white settlers up and down this river have no consideration for them For instance, the whites with their usual unpoetic thoughts for the morrow, provide themselves with a good ly amount of cattle and horses, among which are some very fine ones; and these delightful children of the D. prairies, with instinciive discrimination, that should be applauded, select their beef from the very finest stock. They know it is the best beef and the settlers are selfish and mean enough to make a fuss about it once in while. True, they don't mind until they have seen, I was about to say -robbed-I mean thus, reliev- ed of their surplus fine stock several times. Now this is unquestionably wrong and wholly at variance with ad- vanced civilization. Notice the nicetY of taste by which they distinguish the fine stock from the "scrub". For my part don't see how the cattle men can be so mean and stingy.
 The Indian don't steal, he simply ap- propriates He is broad in his views of Gods possessions and His liberalty, and if the white man will be mean enough to labor for the "gold that perisheth'' while he sits in the shade and eats lice, why, whose fault is it2
 Why can't the San Pedro people em- ulate Gen. Howard and the rest of that great mutual admiration society" and appre ciate the lovely Apache at his true worth? Shall l tell you why? The San Pedro people and the settlers of Arizona generally, know them as they are Those big philanthropists know nothing about then,, nor care to, liked to have said, but this would not be true; of course, Gen Howard and the rest are making every effort in their power to understand them, and at the present rate they wall have attained the knowledge the average Arlzonian has of the Apache in about 5,OOO years. A long vista for the settlers isn't itl unless they should at some moment of outrage and c0nse Quent excitement take the matter into their own hands and abbreviate the per iod.
 hope they never will do this because bloodshed would ensue; and bloodshed by that way would mean exterminatlon of the Indians, and e1ternination of the Indians would mean abolishment of the Indian Bureau, and abolishment of the Indian Bureau would mean extinction of the Military out on the frontier" Of 6cers and all. So you see my deduc- tions up to this point make very shak y "house that Jack built, and I haven't arrived at the climax yet. It is this: This Indian business just as is makes a very reliable safety valve for the bottlel up benevolenee of the whole East
 l will write again. I know you wiE be glad to have me when tell you that I will write some nice little anecdotes of "Skim" and his people that will make the story of "Rip Van Wrinkle seem very tame.

This lrss not been week of local news in Florence and nothing of import has transpired to break the even mon .otony of a peaceful town. The air of visible mystery pervading the business transactions of the people would imply, if anything We're needed, that compacts with Santa Claus were being entered in- to, and it's nobody's business, before Christmas, what's going on. With such a prevailing sentiment the Dews-ga therer finds a general disinclination on thepart of the people to ''give away" anything un- til the merry hour arrives, whether or not the newspaper columns are thereby made to closely resemble some of the poor little stockings that will not be atrained with good things to night.
